Suicide Prevention
Sherwood School District recognizes that suicide is the second leading cause of death for teens in Oregon. Students face many pressures and stressors that, if uncared for, can amplify mental health risk factors. When students feel connected to their schools, friends, and a caring adult, they are better equipped to cope with life stressors.
